The Half - 21k Walk 2019

A *NEW* Half route is planned for 2019 that starts and finishes in Dorking. The route will be available to view in April.

The Surrey Hills Half is for those that want to test their stamina and strength, but are not quite ready for the Ultra or Full. The 21km route starts at Denbies Wine Estate, Dorking at 09:00. The Half route follows the Greensand Way and is almost entirely on footpath with some road crossings and short stretches of road surface. Sturdy trail shoes are advisable to ensure good grip as you travel up and down the rolling hills of Surrey. The footpaths in places are narrow, with loose gravel, roots and the usual obstacles you would expect to find. There are stiles and gates to navigate and some road crossings where you’ll be helped across by volunteers.

The Greensand Way follows scenic trails that cuts across fields, up and down hills, through hamlets, along ridgeways and woodlands, before you finally ascend up onto the North Downs Way. There’s so much to look at and so many variations in terrain that you’ll never lack conversation topics between yourself and your fellow athletes!

Along the 21km route will be aid stations, offering a full range of varying food, snacks and drinks. Each aid station is managed by experienced volunteers, many of them runners themselves, and medics who will be checking your progress offering advice and support. You’ll never be left behind - this is an event for everyone.

You’ll finish at Denbies Vineyard in Dorking, where medals and prizes are awarded and is also the main hub and meeting point for all our participants and their supporters. With refreshments and entertainment available from 09:00 until 19:00, it is the heart of the challenge.
